Owen had his chemo today and everything went smoothly. Last week his blood counts were too low so they withheld treatment. His ANC went from 340 to 2200 this week...a strong jump. His doctors decided to give him 80% of his normal dosage since he has been neutropenic (low white blood cell count-increased risk of infection) a number of times. If his levels stay high he will return to full dose next Monday.
Owen has been recieving chemo again since February. After a MRI showed growth of the same optic glioma (tumor) that he was treated for when he was about a year old. He goes to CHOP every Monday and it has become again part of our weekly routine.
